"Three times during the twentieth century - in 1918, 1945, and 1981 - Eastern Europe was to be made 'safe for democracy.' The dismantling of the empires of the Habsburgs, Ottoman sultans, Russian tsars, Hitler's Germany, and that of the Soviet Union in the face of the irresistible force of the oppressed nation's quest for democracy has fulfilled the axiomatic ideological position of Western champions of the principle of self-determination of nationalities. Yet even after the overthrow of the most pernicious forms of totalitarianism democracy remains illusory. It may well be asked what factors mitigated against the triumph of democracy after the world wars and to what extent these factors remain relevant today...." - Chapter One from Columbia History of Eastern Europe in The Twentieth Century Date: 1992.
